I keep a set binder for Rebel Clash, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Rebel Clash set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Gyarados can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). Themed lists that include this exact card are Magikarp and Gyarados and Giant Pokémon. I still need this card.
